> How do you reference, say, /dev/fd0 if the floppy module isn't even loaded?> You need to do that so kmod loads the module, as things stand now.

Under /devfs, the /dev/fd0 is a link to /dev/floppy/0, so the devfs wouldsee the explicit request for /dev/floppy device, and send "floppy" tokmod, and you can alias whatever module that would need to be loaded tofloppy.
